Atmel's AT76C551 baseband has received Bluetooth qualification and is included on the Bluetooth Qualified Product List (BQPL) which can be found at the official site of the Bluetooth SIG ( www.bluetooth.com).
Baseband in wireless communications is the hardware that turns the transmit/receive radio signals into a digital form that can be processed by the host application.
The core Bluetooth qualification testing was performed by seven layers, an independent certified Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility (BQTF).
"We are very pleased that our baseband implementation was granted Bluetooth qualification," said Richard Bisset, Product Marketing Director of Atmel. "The Bluetooth Qualification Program describes all the necessary tests that must be followed for a product in order to ensure its compliance with the Bluetooth standard and entitlement to bear the Bluetooth logo. Our target is to pass all our current and forthcoming Bluetooth products through the certification procedure either directly or through customers using the Atmel reference designs. Atmel's customers will be able to use the complete test reports of the qualified Atmel parts, therefore reducing their time-to-market schedules since they will only have to follow a proven path in order to qualify their own end products."
The baseband is the first qualified layer of Atmel's implementation of the Bluetooth specification Version 1.1 protocol stack as a Bluetooth Integrated Module. Atmel's Bluetooth certification was achieved with a PCMCIA reference design based on the AT76C551 chip in conjunction with the SIW 1502 RF transceiver from long time partner, Silicon Wave.
